Fugitive Emission Valve Testing

Fugitive emissions are emissions of gases or vapours from pressurized equipment due to leaks and other unintended or irregular releases of gases, mostly from industrial activities. As well as the economic cost of lost commodities, fugitive emissions contribute to air pollution and some vapours present potential hazard to human health and safety.

Valves, flanges, gaskets and fittings can be tested for fugitive emission in one of our test bunkers by well-trained test engineers.

These components can be tested at different temperatures with helium or methane test gas, using the sniffing or vacuum method according to recognised international standards or can be designed to our customer’s own specifications to ensure application suitability.
